It’s a great day in Italy and fans are delighted with the debut of the Italian National Football team. Italy making their UEFA EURO 2016 debut with a clear victory against all odds because predictions were in favor of Belgium who rank 2nd with 1384 points in the FIFA Ranking while Italy rank in the 12th position with 982 points. Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi praising Italy for their victory. The Italian newspapers also praising the Italian team.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) President Carlo Tavecchio also expressing his happiness for the victory to the ‘Radio anch’io lo sport’, “It was a commanding display. We played and won like a great team. The celebrations are over because we’re already thinking about the next game”. Tavecchio had special praise for Italy Head Coach Antonio Conte, saying “He’s in the process of doing something extraordinary. The lads are fantastic because they train and day after day they show that they share important values. We were very satisfied with winning our first match against a much-fancied Belgium side. There’s a long way to go but I believe that a lot of people will start believing in us again after all the negative talk before kick-off.”
Surely, it was a great debut with the Italian supporters encouraging the team at the Stade des Lumières.
It’s now time to archive the victory against Belgium. The Italian team returned to Montpellier during the night on a specially chartered flight that took off from Lyon airport at 02:00 to prepare the match Italy vs Sweden to be played on Friday 19 June. As reported by the FIGC, Coach Antonio Conte and captain Gianluigi Buffon stopped to sign some autographs for fans who had waited for the team outside their hotel. The squad took part in one training session today starting at 11:45.
